Im a MCP and MCDST

I've been doing allot of revising recently, I've taken three Microsoft exams over the last three weeks and they are very hard, to give you some idea for one exam I revised all weekend and every evening in the week; I watched 9.1/2 hours of nugget videos, I read an Exam Cram book (220 pages), I re-read a course book, I re-did some virtual machine practises and finally took some Transcender practise exams, I was up until 11 or 12 each night! Allot of revising, but its worth it :) My wife has been very supportive, I haven't taken her shopping on Saturday for three weeks! But I can now call myself a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) (after passing one exam) and a Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) (after two exams). The first exam I passed with 933/1000 the second I passed with 863/1000 the last one I passed with 842/1000, the pass mark is 700. I need another two exams to become a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA), I've got the books (2 x 1,000 pages and 2 x 600!), but I'm taking it easier over Xmas :)
